A elderly couple accused of lewd behavior in a public park denied the charges by insisting they are medically unable to have sex.

Richard Butler, 82, and his wife Joyce, 65, were charged with breach of peace in the Grace Richardson Open Space in Fairfield, Connecticut – a notorious public sex spot on the ‘City Hookup Guide,’ police said.

The couple was charged alongside four elderly men, Daniel Dobbins, 67, Otto D. Williams, 62, Charles Ardito, 75, John Linartz, 62, who were arrested after someone reported ‘lewd and sexual activity’ in the park – but the Butlers claim they were unfairly swept up in the police search.

As the Butlers drove away from the park, police pulled them over issued the breach of peace citations to the couple’s apparent shock.

Richard Butler told the Smoking Gun: ‘I haven’t had sex in maybe ten years. I got no blood flow. I got three doctors that would back me up.’
